Abstract

Rates of death by suicide, suicidal gestures, suicide attempts, and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents have increased over the past decade. 1 Despite these sobering trends, the availability of appropriate clinical services has not kept pace with the growing need. A shortage of inpatient psychiatric beds for children and adolescents is among the shortcomings of today’s American mental health system of care.
